Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is cutting his ties with the British bank Barclays.
It’s a move that further reinforces the idea that Bush will officially jump into the 2016 presidential race. Earlier in the week he announced that he planned to establish an a leadership PAC and was “actively” exploring running.
Bush currently serves as an adviser to Barclays. He plans to leave his position on Dec. 31, according to The Financial Times.
Bush’s ties to major banks like Barclays and others were called to attention recently in a wide-ranging Bloomberg BusinessWeek feature story.
Does he understand or even realize that if he runs, both Democrats and Republicans will hang his brother’s record around his neck like an albatross?
hahaha… that didn’t take long. jebbie frantically going thru his portfolio to see where the hidden traps are… congrats to joshua green for doing the work.
hence, the gradual reappearance of w on the national scene – beginning with his quiet, reflective days as a painter. and now the tentative steps into commentary – at least in support of little brother and how he resists critiquing obama’s policies…
A British Brank? Bwah-hahahaha! TPM Comedy.
What I don’t understand is that both his father and brother were horrible presidents. W is currently regarded as a bottom 5 and will likely remain there. HW was no great shake either and the voters turned him out after one term. As a political dynasty they’ve only proven that the Bush family is patently inept at being president. Why would they think they deserve another shot, ever?
